Ever wonder who your favorite celebrities vote for? The Daily News got a look at some Federal Election Campaign files, and saw some pretty big names on the campaign donation lists. Rep. John Hall apparently got $500 from Chevy Chase and $2,400 from Bonnie Raitt for his last campaign, and Anthony Weiner got support from Donald Trump and designer Lisa Perry (not to mention all those foreign models). But Brooklyn Rep. Ed Towns' opponent Kevin Powell may have the most talented supporter, with Chris Rock donating $2,400. That donation was matched by designer Mark Ecko and Chicago Bears player Julius Peppers. more ›

Last night in Chelsea, Dave Chappelle no-showed at a fundraiser he was slated to headline for the congressional campaign of Kevin "Real World" Powell. After waiting around for over three hours, the crowd of a few hundred was told that Chappelle had missed not one, but two planes out of Ohio. To add insult to injury, Powell mentioned more than once that Chris Rock was in the building, but did not want to take the stage due to "not wanting to disrespect another comedian." How this was supposed to appease the crowd who had paid $75 (minimum) a ticket for the rare Chappelle appearance was unclear.

Go ahead and take a minute to let all that sink in. more ›
